R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Ron Robinson retired from his position as president 
of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce in August 2004, bringing to a 
close an exceptional tenure with the organization that spanned 
nearly two decades; and
	WHEREAS, This notable Texan also left his positions as 
president of the Metroplex Technology Business Council and the 
Richardson Economic Development Partnership, two groups he served 
with great distinction; fortunately for area residents, Mr. 
Robinson has continued to lend his expertise as a part-time 
consultant for the City of Richardson; and
	WHEREAS, Highly instrumental in the success of the Telecom 
Corridor, Mr. Robinson worked hard to secure Richardson's place in 
the international high-tech community, helping to promote economic 
development and build strong and lasting relationships with 
companies both inside and outside the city limits; and
	WHEREAS, Not only a champion of Richardson's business 
community, Mr. Robinson also made invaluable contributions to the 
educational community as a member of the executive education 
advisory council of The University of Texas at Dallas; in this 
important role, he encouraged the school to extend its public 
reach, helping the institution become a national presence among 
colleges and universities; and
	WHEREAS, Ron Robinson has set a sterling example of 
leadership to which all may aspire, and his visionary efforts will 
undoubtedly continue to benefit Richardson for years to come; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Ron Robinson on his retirement as 
president of the Richardson Chamber of Commerce and extend to him 
sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Robinson as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
